Time for a bit of FFXIV speculation :

I realize that a bulk of FFXIV players have already completed the whole of the story arc ( probably more than one time ) so please don't hold it against this 🌱 while I think-out-loud about my feelings towards the story so far even if I'm still experiencing ARR.

( also pls no spoilers, but I appreciate encouragement and assurance my questions will get answered. Lol )

Somethings have been picking at my brain since I encountered them. One of which is when the Amal'Jaa are surprised we do not fall to tempering stating our "soul must belong to another" and then Ifrit himself says that while he can see we do not already serve a primal that the paragons warned the Primals about the godless-blessed one's aborrent existence. Does that mean that while we may or may not be tempered by a primal we are controlled/ guided by some 'other' thing outside the paragons or the 12. If we are being Guided/controlled by what we don't quite understand but is big enough or strong enough for the paragons & primals to worry about —- should we be worried about its overall motive & can it truly be benevolent and omniscient with that much power? Does it seek to follow through with its own agenda regardless of the plight of others.

The reason I say this is because of another encounter that seems to stick in my mind. A point in which Y'stola chastises Merlwyb for breaking the treaty with the Kolbolds. She basically says and has a solid point (that I had already thought of before this scene) when she tells Merlwyb that this constant war with the Kobolds was of her own doing in letting Lominsans break the treaty. The kolbolds are just defending themselves. Or course there is an a back and forth that ensues but the point being both Merlwyb and the Kobolds are doing what they believe to be right for justice sake and for the sake & safety of their people.

I extrapolated this further. What makes us, the scions, so sure that what WE are doing is right? Because a giant crystal says so? We kill gods/primals and move against another society that perhaps (outside of their military) could possibly be wanting freedom and peace like those of Eorzea do. What of the Garlemald society? They can't be all military. Its not hard to believe that there are some suffering at our hands because of what their military decided to do, not them. I guess essentially what I'm saying is, how are we so certain we are not falsely lead to believe what we do is just and right when what we do is kill gods/primals, murder tribes on sight because of who they are and pushing our agenda on them. There is point where there is a kobold says that those of their community at war with us do not represent the whole of their society. … and I hear that the crafting questline with the different tribes show us that not all of the their race want to fight. So is it hard to reason that perhaps not all Ishgardians hate dragons? That not all dragons hate the elezen. That not all Garleans follow their military and that perhaps what we perceive as right may only be a perspective of one cosmologic being with enough power to have us believe in what they want?

on top of the fact that the Ascians say ' if we knew more, that we wouldn't be fighting with them.... that we would basically understand’ ... leaves me feeling 🤯

What the hell is going on? I know mother crystal is our main guide... but tbh I'm feeling pretty sus about things and honestly the motives of Hydaelyn. I realize they are presenting her as a mothering ‘goddess’ but I’ve always been the type of kid to ask “why”

The answer of ‘just because’ … ‘because I said so’….. ‘because this is how it’s always been done’ ….. ‘because I’m the boss’…..

Has NEVER sat well with me. As a kid or now. With my parents, with teachers, with management or upper level bosses. I need to know the why, the motives, the implications or consequences, the benefits. I need this information because the end does not always justify the means. Especially if on a core level I disagree with it and feel there is an alternate route.

That probably says more about me then I intended but yeah… lol

... anyhow.... thank you for letting me just babble on about the beginning of this ( I'm sure to be ) wild ride we all know and love called FFXIV.

[velvetjune]

if Alan Wake 3 happens and it doesn’t have a happy ending with Alan, Alice, and Barry reuniting, with Saga seeing her family and working at the FBC with Casey,, my heart might break

#alan wake 2 #im simply thinking about the possibilities #it seems like a third one is plausible right?? unless they REALLY want to leave it open ended #*maybe* the blessed organization with Barry will be a Control thing instead #but even then. idk. there’s no way saga and Casey aren’t gonna show again and where else would they resolve them being in the dark place #I have watched the newgame + ending now. so spoilers for that —> #im even more confused about the ending 😭 and Alice 😭 #But despite this being an ending I still think Alice herself could get a lot of focus if there was a third game #yes! congrats to Alan and saga and everyone! he’s a master of worlds and Logan is confirmed alive #but what happens from there #im being biased here because I just don’t want Alan wake 2 to be the last full game centered on that story even if it crosses with control

So...before I wrote and published "Everything Is Blue," I created my first game and I was meant to publish that instead. But I thought Everything Is Blue would be better and more interactive, so I ditched that lol. And it's called "The Reaper Watches Me." I saw it again after weeks and I decided to publish it since I've written and coded everything. This is just a lil smth smth and I've never finished it. And if you decide to read it, I might not update it because I am in the middle of making my primary game.

So, here it is. Try it out if you want!

Lend Me Your Heart

As promised, here is a not-so-brief synopsis of the dating sim I'm working on!

Lend Me Your Heart is a visual novel in which you are a transfer student going to a new university (thanks to your old university for axing your major program, sigh). Your new university puts you in the upperclassmen housing they offer, so you don't have to worry about getting an apartment, but the building you were placed in is rumored to be... Cursed. People say that the basement is haunted, that you can hear screams coming from the rooms, that people lose their minds when they live there. The basement also happens to be where you're moving in. Which is... Fantastic.

You're the last person to move in on the floor, so you're able to get to know everyone right away. They all seem nice enough, not without their quirks, but nothing off-putting (and they're all quite attractive). Where, then, are all of these rumors coming from? Everyone else is also new to the basement this year, so maybe the curse was broken the year before? You hope for that, but strange things are already happening...

Less story-like description of the game + content warnings under the cut!

Lend Me Your Heart is a yandere dating sim, in which you live in a dorm surrounded by characters who become completely and utterly enamored with you. Enough to do some horrible things to keep you safe.

The game has five main love interests, with two or three non-romanceable, but important, side characters (currently). Each character has a different path of study in school and different... Methods to their madness. Which you learn about the further you progress on their routes! It's a visual novel, so your agency is based on dialogue choices (which may have more relevancy than you think no matter which ending you plan to get!)

If you like the handful of yandere imagines I wrote on my imagines blog, you'll probably like this.

Some more non-story stuff: You can choose the pronouns you use, it doesn't restrict you from getting any routes. If you choose not to input anything for pronouns, the game uses he/him by default. The current love interest options are all men, and have canon appearances already.

I'll introduce the characters (featuring some of my very messy sketches of them) soon!

Right now I'm making it in RenPy, but that may change if I need things that I can't do in it! (Although honestly given the games created by RenPy in the past, I think it may work fine for my needs)

What you will encounter depends on which route you focus on, so this list will definitely get expanded upon as the game gets closer to having some kind of release, but generally speaking:

Content Warnings:

Yandere trope (especially obsession)

Stalking

Blood/Gore (written descriptions will often be more detailed/potentially gruesome than visual art) (I can't draw gore well)

Murder

Needles/Knives/Other sharp weapons

Sexual content
